Scare Care contains dozens of horror stories donated for a children's charity. The tales that stood out were few, but there were some real gems amongst them. I am a huge fan of Ruth Rendell, so I was not surprised that I found her tale "Loopy" to be the absolute highlight of this collection. Without giving too much away, one of Rendell's fetish themes is at the centre of this tale; the relationship between mother and son. "A Towpath Tale" by Giles Gordon was also a wonderfully written and highly chilling tale of domestic suspense. There were a number of other good tales in this collection, but also plenty of unoriginal and predictable ones.
